Is there any good transcription of Tchaikowsky's 1812 overture?

There are transcriptions for both solo and 4 hand, but i really don't think that this particular piece is suitable for transcription.

Not unless you can get a few of your friends to fire cap pistols and ring your doorbell at the appropriate moments.  ;D
